@Jason - I wasn't quite sure what "Giverny" was either so I found this bit of info.
TOUR OF GIVERNY AND MONET'S HOUSE
Located in the south of Paris, Giverny is a very charming village. Claude Monet decided to move in this place in order to develop his passions such as painting, gardening and photography. In 1966, the gardens and Monet's House were passed by his son Michel to the Academy of Arts

Many of Monet's paintings from his garden at Giverny feature a lovely bridge.

Great design on the bridge...interesting how the views leave you with a completely different impression of size and grade...have a project coming up where this would really work in nicely...nice job Practips

I had help from two friends to put it up. they made fun of me because I drew it in cad first. It's 52 ft tip to tip and arches 6 ft. I'm glad you all like it.

We don't have a plan package at this time, but would consider it if there was enough interest.

This is a bridge of our own design after the pond owner said she wanted one like the one in Monets painting
